The Official Biography
I serves as the Director of STEM Education at Marymount School of New York, where I teaches AP Physics, Honors Physics, Atmospheric Science and Videography: Shot on iPhone. An Apple Distinguished Educator, I believe that transformative teaching and learning occurs when students construct their own knowledge, collaborate with peers and then receive authentic feedback on their work. I also serves as moderator for the Student Tech Team @ Marymount, which plans the annual STEMxYouth Summit, a day-long celebration of STEM careers and learning experiences. I am also the co-Director of the MLI @ MMT, who hosts monthly online conversations focusing on new paradigms in teaching and learning and has published three books: From Prototype to Pitch, Volumes 1 and 2 as well as Innovative Teaching and Learning: Disrupting the K-12 Classroom. I have a B.S. in Meteorology from UMassLowell; an MS in Atmospheric Science from SUNY-Albany; a professional certificate in online education from UCSD; and a certificate in television writing from UCLA.
